5sp flywheel bolts vs auto flywheel bolts

[turbomatic]

Im installing a Fidanza flywheel. The engine that I just dropped in my car came from an automatic. I was wondering if the bolts that held on the metal plates(for the torque converter) are the same as 5spd flywheel bolts. The engine is a 7 bolt if that makes any difference as well. Thanks in advance.

Actually I've heard that the bolts for the automatic are a different length, but I never put them side by side. If you call the Mitsubishi parts department, they can tell you for sure.

well i never checked on the length but i did the same thing the only diff. in what i did snd you did is i just put a stock flywheel on. But long story short my cars fine and i put a good 20k on it since then.

auto flex plate bolts are alot shorter than flywheel bolts.

^^^He's correct. The manual flywheel bolt are about 1/2 an in. longer than the auto flexplate bolts. I had to get new flywheel bots when doing my auto to 5 sp. swap.

Just to be on the safe side Im gonna order new bolts. Id feel like an idiot if the flywheel came off and F'd my sh*t up and I could've prevented it by forking out $30. Thanks guys.
